From: Genome-wide analysis reveals adaptation to high altitudes in Tibetan sheep

Figure 4

Complexity of plausible pathways of positively selected genes in high-altitude adaptation in Tibetan sheep.

The symbols for candidate genes for adaptation to high-altitude in the map are shown in bold. Candidate loci marked with an asterisk (*) represent the hypoxia priority candidate genes. Candidate selected genes are associated with hypoxia, energy metabolism, angiogenesis, Ca2+ metabolism, generating cortisone, erythropoietin and iron homeostasis under high-altitude conditions.
